Effervescence

"Effervescence glows ethereally come nightfall, a space oozing romance like few others. The Parisian-style bistro beckons for date night, with its menu of champagne and caviar and other elegant shareables, and top-notch service helps with the romance. It’s a perfect spot to visit before a show at the Saenger Theatre, a short walk away." - Clair Lorell, Beth D'Addono

"What’s more appropriate than ringing in the new year with sparkling wine enthusiasts? Effervescence always has a theme for New Year’s Eve, and this year it’s a festive Black and White Ball inspired by Truman Capote’s 1966 soiree. Start with Champagne and caviar and move on to a $275 tasting menu of lavish New York-style cuisine, live music, and a midnight toast." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"Effervescence is the rare place where everybody’s drinking champagne and eating caviar, but nobody’s actually judging you. It’s a fun and low-key French Quarter bar where the champagne cocktails are the thing to prioritize, whether that’s a kir royale or the absinthe-kissed Death in the Afternoon cocktail. The food is pretty good, too—they have a grilled half wheel of triple cream cow’s milk cheese that’s served with dates and crostini, gulf oysters, and deviled eggs with, you guessed it, caviar." - Megan Braden-Perry

"What’s more appropriate than ringing in the new year with sparkling wine enthusiasts? Effervescence always has a theme for New Year’s Eve, and this year it’s Midnight in Paris. Start with champagne and caviar and move on to a Parisian dinner party, a $275 tasting menu of lavish French fare accompanied by live music and capped off with a midnight toast. Reserve your spot at this special dinner party in a most elegant setting here." - Beth D'Addono, Clair Lorell

"Date night and Effervescence go together like, well champagne and caviar, both of which are on the menu at this pretty bubbles bar and bistro on St. Claude Avenue. It’s a 15-minute straight shot stroll to the Saenger." - Beth D'Addono
